5,8-Pointed Origami Stars (Maria Sinayskaya)
rectangles, 5,8 units, no glue
UPD. And the 8-pointed star turned out to be Stern Olga by Carmen Sprung! Happens a lot to me))
Quite a complicated polyhedron, consisting of 20 triangles, 12 pentagrams and 12 decagrams intersecting each other; only the pentagrams are each of one color.
Designing the modules turned out to be easier than I thought, considering the need for both pentagonal and triangular geometry. Right angles turned up in a lot of unexpected places. Another plus is the rigidity of the model, since adjacent modules are joined by two separate locks.

A couple of weeks ago, I got my hands on a 1592 Town Square set (Dutch version). I had to restore it a little, and then I got the idea to make a building for my modular street inspired by this set. So this is the result. A corner house, built in the middle ages, the last in its sort, next to the last remaining part of the city walls. Maybe it was the house of the gatekeeper. Today the space behind the gate isn't used as road any more, but houses a little snack corner, where you can eat 'soep en worst' (as in the original 1983 set).
Next to another modular MOC it looks very small, but that is to be expected from a little mediaeval house.
I haven't yet remade the statue and the parade from set 1592.

Some shorter/longer rectangles will work too with this folding sequence.
I'm back baby! After a bit of a mini dark ages, I've been getting back into Lego, and now that I have my own computer, LDD is more promising an option than ever. So a project I'd wanted to do for a while is designing and making a modular police station that takes cues from 7744. So, after many hours of mood boarding, sketching, and actually building the thing in LDD, I present to you the first iteration of my Modular Police station. No furnishings as of yet besides stairs, but I want to adjust the foundation first before designing the inside.

In response to a discussion started by AK_Brickster on www.classic-castle.com, I've been inspired to reimagine modular terrain standards like base8 and the Classic-Castle City standard. Here are some shots of a road I've built with some ideas of my own.
LEGO modular post office.
6455 parts.
Building instruction is available at: rebrickable.com/users/peedeejay/mocs/
This was one of the most challenging facades I ever built, but I‘m quite happy how it turned out. Inside you can find also an architect‘s office. This gave me the chance to try some microscale building for the first time.

simple, yet deadly.. endless units to build as big as you like modular. mine is made of 59 units (22 yellows, 22 purples and 15 blues).
you dont have to stick to my proportion, you can start with a square and see what happens.
My modular flower made from Peter Keller's origami paper (colour scheme "Herbst", Pack Autumn/Fall at etsy).
Peter Keller asked me to test his new paper for modular origami. Sheets are 5*5 cm. It is a bit small for me. I prefer size larger than 7*7 cm for my kusudamas from squares. However, this paper is very well suited to modular flowers or modular stars. For starters, I have chosen flowers.
The paper folds very well and has no damage on the creases.
“Radiance” 30 Interlocking Icosakainonagonal Stars 870 units
5-fold view.
Lest anyone should mistake my online inactivity for any cessation from origami, this is the “slow cook” project I mentioned before on Instagram. This is the new “World’s Largest Wireframe” (by unit count), edging past “Supernova,” which was 840 units with the scaffold. Each star polygon here has 29 sides, and contributes one edge to four different 5-fold axes. The 10 sided whorls really accent this model well, and help in visualizing the dodecahedral symmetry. This is about 14” in diameter, which makes it the largest stellated “planar-esque” construction (I am unsure as to whether the polygons here could be planar in theory, but they are certainly hyperboloidal in reality. I was somewhat concerned that larger assemblies like this might not be able to support their own weight, but it is surprisingly rigid. The colors for each frame are not all distinct or uniform, but I don’t think that should matter for someone who wanted to reproduce this. The proportions are the standard which I have used for the planar series: 1.4375”x 3.375” (1:2.34783). The units have standard 60 degree non-con pockets and the crimped units have interior angles that are precisely 72.41379 degrees (75 degrees works just fine).
Designed by me.

rectangles (2:sqrt3), 6 units, no glue
The star looks the same on both sides.
Nice pattern in the middle, but I'm not entirely happy with the layer distribution, the points are a bit too thick.
Killing time while waiting for parts.
If i ever manage to complete those models, i'll provide 4 separate part lists:
- 1 for the TIE/LN Starfighter.
- 1 for the TIE/IN Interceptor.
> Both models have the cockpit pod and wing spars in common.
- 1 for the TIE Experimental M1.
> It can be built mostly from the TIE/LN Starfighter + cannon pod + 1 x technic axle 16.
- 1 to be able to build any model (minimum needed combination of submodels to build all 3 models).
This modularity means that you can build a huge variety of keeps- part of the goal here is that if you want, just by buying multiple copies of this set you could easily create your own theme, complete with wizards towers, palaces, fortresses and who knows what else!

A little modular building or you.
A two-story book store, tool shop, studio apartment, and two-story condo. It comes in just over 3,000 pieces. And as with all modular, it has its own play story. I will be working to make instructions for Rebrickable.
A book store serves as the cover for two spies. They live above the book store in a studio-apartment. But is the tool store owner innocent in this crime?
Features include:
-Three separating floors (with roof)
-An open two-story books store
-Hidden rotating wall
-Sliding ladder
-Spiral stair case
-Multiple hidden compartments
-Working fire escape
-Murphy bed
I designed this with the Parisian Restaurant in mind, but it is made to be totally modular and used with any Modular from Lego or custom built.
The central part of my idea is the park, which in turn can be used as a larger park or two smaller ones, on the likes of the Lego Pet Shop modular.
But there’s more! It can be connected to extra pavements and these can also be used with your modulars, to create squares, make a standard modular look like a corner one, or create your own and unique combination. Did I mention that there's also a colorful mosaic?
There's a bunch of accessories, from a fire hydrant to a comfy bench, and some of them are used to disguise the standard Technic brick used to connect modulars.
And if that was not enough, you will get a lot of accessories to make your city stem to life!
There's a newspaper kiosk, designed to remind the Parisian ones, a crepes rickshaw, a trash trolley, a monumental statue, two wonderfully flowered trees and a big oak tree to give some shade in the park.
And then several other smaller accessories that can be used with this set or all over your modular town.
And, last but not least, there’s 7 minifigs (and a dog) to animate the town!
If you are a Lego Modulars fan, you will want to have all of these in your Lego town.

For the STG (Starfighter Telephone Game). Though I am still not sure who this should ship to, and we are ironing that out, I wanted to post the images.
The goal was to make it modular like the original Blacktron line and this build is exactly what I hoped it would be when I signed up for this round like three years ago. Lol.
It has ten different, completely interchangeable modules, which can combine in a ridiculously high number of ways.
I am extremely proud of this build and it will be very difficult to part with, but I believe whoever ends up with it will be very very pleased.

MOC: Modular LEGO Store. Based on the LEGO Brand Retail Store set that has been used as a giveaway at store openings over the past couple of years, but blown up to minifig scale.
And yes, I know that the original set isn't a corner building, but I just hadn't built one yet and needed one for a layout I was working on :)
A modular school.
Building instruction is available at: rebrickable.com/users/peedeejay/mocs/
Every city needs a school! The build spans among 3 baseplates and consists of 10 modules. The baseplates can be separated from each other for easy transportation. The complete model weighs about 10kg and has 14417 parts.
The front part contains the main entrance, some trees and a bus stop. The roof areas contain the ventilation units, photovoltaics and the clock.
The ground floor contains the main entrance hall with washrooms for boys and girls. The right wing of the ground floor contains a standard classroom for maths and literature. The left wing of the ground floor contains the music classroom, featuring a piano, drums and some other instruments.
The middle floor contains a cafeteria, where the students can get a quick bite and some refreshments. The left wing of the middle floor contains an IT-classroom and it seems the students are well stocked on mobile devices. The right wing of the middle floor contains the science classroom. At the moment some experiments are ongoing in the chemistry class.
The upper floor contains the library.
LEGO Modular Police Station
Instructions available: rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-60973/MasterBuilderKTC/modular-p...
For a long time I wanted to build/design a railway station, but it had to be designed upon the following conditions:
- only cheap parts to be used while still having a good looking design
- fit in with the modular buildings
- the station being modular as well
To achieve the first point I tried to use mostly parts that are often available in Lego stores. Therefore most of the station building can be built with only 1x2 and 1x1 tan bricks (not considering bricks for snot). Also the 1x4x3 white windows are often offered on the PaB wall, so I decided to build a glass canopy for the facade and the platforms as well. The masonry bricks used for the platforms can be changed with normal bricks, therefore only very few pieces might be costly (or not).
The second goal wasn't hard to fulfill: the building is 32 bricks long and 16 bricks wide. The second floor can be added several times to make it higher. Therefore you can put it next to Lego's modular buildings and it will fit nicely.
The station is modular as well: You don't have to build the canopy above the platforms, but it's a nice addition. The platform is divided into several sections, which results in the station being able to be enlarged in width and length.
The station design is simple but effective and isn't based on any real building. The small towers aren't really necessary, but they are a nice addition. I got the idea for these as I recently got a Bionicle polybag with 4 of these pieces: www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=20252&ccName=6106738
Any suggestions? I'd be happy to hear what you think of it!!!
